Arknights: Prelude To Dawn: Episode 2 "Flame" Review

Mephisto's attitude and attire immediately make an impression, and it's mostly a positive one, even if his brand of crazy can feel a little overdone in anime. The action in this episode had its moments, though the choreography and direction weren't spectacular. Once the heroes' backup arrived, they seemed to just appear as a comically huge group as if no one had noticed their approach. They weren't even sneaking up on any


In a dystopian future, the inhabitants of the planet Terra display traits of animals, and a disease has spread across the world called "oripathy." This disease actually gives people the capability to wield magic, but such benefits are meager before the mortality and infectious spr


Originium is a conduit for energy, but it can also give people Oripathy, meaning that those with the infection can use Arts because of the Originium in their bodies. However, the powers also use life force as fuel, hence Rhodes Island's quest to cure it. It's a fascinating power system with some tangible drawbacks that add dr


Last week, the powerful fire-wielding Talulah cornered the members of Rhodes Island and saw fit to incinerate the lot of them. As Episode 3 opens, Amiya demonstrates her own power in shielding her allies, though only so far as to hold off what seems like an inevitably bloody bat


It's also worth considering the cultural blend of influences that inspired the original game, it being a Chinese game and Chinese animation (donghua) having a noticeable difference in style. So it's natural that this anime would feel slightly different, translating an art style that is very against the gr


One of the Rhodes Island soldiers angrily expresses that the clinic got what was coming to it, as they had refused to help Rhodes Island as well. What followed was an interesting monologue by Amiya, who expresses that even if they have a commonality, it doesn't make it easy to trust people. She expresses how humans build walls to feel safe because they want some degree of norma


It doesn't help that some characters don't feel like they were conceived as real characters , such as generically named "Guard" which is hardly an effective codename among an army of lookalikes. All the characters are named such that they feel like code names rather than true identities, and it really emphasizes that this is all based on a mobile game. It can take one out of the experie


So all seems well, but it wouldn't be surprising if there was some tension arising later, especially given the treatment of infected in the city. For the time being though, that's the least of the characters' concerns, as the episode ends with a new antagonist watching on from h

Arknights came back strong this week with a more relaxed episode introducing a new locale and new characters, dropping hints of a more significant battle to come. Until that happens, however, it's nice to see a new city to get a sense of what normal life is like in this world that has so far only been explored through ruin and


Like with Genshin Impact , another insanely popular game , Arknights is getting an anime adaptation, linked internet page and it's coming pretty soon. From Yostar Pictures - the animation subsidiary of Yostar Games - comes a TV animation about a story of resilience and hope in a dystopian future on the planet of Te


It speaks to the groundwork laid in the first three episodes that these deliberations might be the most interesting part of the story thus far. There are the competing motivations of the factions, the political landscape complicating the discourse, but also a mystery that has gone unexplored by the characters as


Arknights ' premiere had promise, but it didn't quite go above and beyond to offer a climax or plot hook that felt particularly strong. However, its artwork and direction were just striking enough to pique curiosity and instill some hope that it could get better, and that bet seems to be paying off so

Arknights is one of those projects that one can have a skewed perspective of depending on how they've been targeted. The luckiest of us all will see gorgeously animated ads promoting a cool dystopian future with lots of gunfights and half-animal people while those less fortunate will see some of the worst TV live-action ads ever concoc
